Daniel 8:23-25

In a complex world the weapon is simple, Jesus the Christ.

There will be an end to the world as we know it. Good will overcome evil. God always has the final word. Trust in Him to accomplish what man cannot.

The first king of Greece was Alexander the Great. None of Alexander’s four generals ruled with the strength of Alexander. King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the king of Syria made his capital at Antioch. Antiochus would be energized by Satan, as will the Antichrist. Antiochus died without human intervention. According to the apocryphal Book of 2 Maccabees, Antiochus died of a painful disease.

Daniel 8:23-25

²³ “And in the latter time of their kingdom,

When the transgressors have reached their fullness,

A king shall arise,

Having fierce features,

Who understands sinister schemes.

²⁴ His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;

He shall destroy fearfully,

And shall prosper and thrive;

He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

²⁵ “Through his cunning

He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;

And he shall exalt himself in his heart.

He shall destroy many in their prosperity.

He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;

But he shall be broken without human means.

⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young.
